PREFACE 



HE Vermont Antiquarian Society has cour- 
teously permitted the publication of the inter- 
esting record kept by William G. Shaw of 
Burlington, Vt., during his activity as a pen- 
sion agent, so far as the notes relate to 
soldiers in the War of 1812. 
This record has particular value as it includes abstracts of 
the evidence presented by the claimant. There was no Ver- 
mont law requiring vital records to be kept by town clerks prior 
to 1840, hence attempts to learn the families of Vermont soldiers 
in either the Revolution or the War of 1812 frequently are 
futile. All who have had occasion to seek genealogical details 
in Vermont will realize the importance of this pension evidence. 
The Volunteers whose names are printed are from the 
towns of Burlington, Colchester, Huntington, Milton, Under- 
bill, Shelburne, Jericho, and Hinesburgh, and in all, number 189. 
The contemporaneous accounts of the battle were copied 
from the newspaper files in the Fletcher Free Library at Bur- 
lington. 

By the kindness of Mr. Henry L. Sheldon, we are enabled 
to add to the appendix, the payrolls of many companies from 
United States regiments, stationed at Burlington, Vt., during the 
War of 181 2. 

The acknowledgements of the editor are due to Messrs. 
Rodney and Augustus R. Macdonough for the reproduction of the 
picture of Commodore Macdonough. This is from the portrait 
painted by Gilbert Stuart, now in the Century Club, New York. 
The picture of the battle of Plattsburgh is from an old print 
and is used by permission of Col. C. S. Forbes.

Kept by Walter Sheldon, District Paymaster 
AT Burlington, Vt. 



ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE OF PLATTS- 
BURGH, SEPTEMBER ii, 1814 



THE following account is taken from an "extra" of the 
^Northern Sentinel," published at Burlington, Vt., on Tuesday, 
September 13, 1 8 14. 

"Glorious Intelligence." 
« The anxiety of the public to learn the particulars of the late splendid 
victory over the British squadron on this Lake, has induced us to pub- 
lish the following, which are all that have come to our knowledge. 

"On Sunday, the ever memorable nth of September, the enemy's 
squadron was discovered about eight o'clock, A. M., standing up the lake 
with a favorable breeze, under a press of sail. Every preparation was 
made by our gallant Commodore to give them a warm and cordial recep- 
tion; with his squadron at anchor he awaited their approach. The 
enemy soon made their appearance off Cumberland Head and bore down 
for our squadron-the enemy's two largest vessels taking a position to 
attack the Saratoga, our flag ship. The first broadside from her killed 
the British Commodore (Downie) and her fire continued so spirited and 
well directed that the enemy's flag ship, the Confiance, soon after struck. 
At this time the whole broadside guns of the Saratoga next to the enemy 
were completely unmanageable. The enemy's brig continued her fire. 



48 Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 

Our Commodore slipped his cable and wore round ; two broadsides com- 
pelled the brig to follow the example of the Confiance. In the meantime 
the Preble compelled one of the enemy's sloops to strike. The other 
grounded on Hospital Island just before the battle ended, and was taken 
possession of by some of our Gallies. The enemy's Gallies, except two 
which were sunk, with the assistance of their oars effected their escape. 
The slaughter on board the British fleet was immense. The Confiance 
alone had no killed and wounded. Our loss is severe — 56 men killed 
and wounded on board the Saratoga — Commodore Macdonough himself 
was three different times knocked down by the splinters and falling spars 
and blocks, but has escaped with trifling injury. The loss on either side 
it is difficult and as yet impossible to ascertain. 

" The comparative loss to the enemy with ours is stated at two 
to one. 

" The British fleet consisted of fifteen vessels, viz.: — 

The Confiance, mounting, og guns. 

Linnet, mounting, . . . i 16 guns. 

Chub, mounting, . . • . / 1 1 guns. 

Finch, mounting, ii guns. 

II Gallies, mounting, 16 guns 

/ 

/ 93 guns. 

" Our fleet of fourteen vessels, viz.: — 

Saratoga, 26 

Eagle, 20 

Ticonderoga, 17 

Com. Preble, 7 

6 Gallics, 2 each, 12 

4 Gallies, I each, 4

" On the result of this most glorious victory comment is unnecessary. 
The names of Macdonough and of his gallant officers, will be inserted 
among those of Decatur, Hull, Perry, Bainbridge, Porter, and Jones, and 
like them will be held in everlasting remembrance. 

"The enemy under Sir George Prevost amounting to 14,000 regulars 
and embodied militia, in four brigades commanded by Major Generals 
De Rottenburgh, Powers, Brisbane, and Robinson, appeared before our 
works at Plattsburgh, and after bombarding, cannonading, and rocket- 
firing were obliged to retreat in the night of Sunday last, in great confus- 
ion, leaving a number of their tents, several pieces cannon, great 
quantities of ammunition, bombs, cannon balls, grape shot, fixed cart- 
ridges, shovels, spades, axes, pick axes, bread, flour, beef, etc., etc., in our 
possession, together with all their sick and wounded to our mercy. The 
gallantry of General Macomb, his subalterns and brave regulars (not 
exceeding 1,500), have never been exceeded. Not a pallid cheek was 
seen during the whole affair, notwithstanding the showers of shot, shells 
and rockets which were directed at our works. On silencing the enemy's 
battery the second time. Sir George made his escape with his life guard, 
while we were playing the tune of Yankee Doodle. 

" The militia, thirty-two hundred, without distinction of party or age, 
in every instance have distinguished themselves. The Vermont volun- 
teers have behaved with the coolness of regulars, and their conduct has 
fulfilled the expectations, which the promptness and spirit with which 
they turned out had raised. 

"The enemy in their flight destroyed all the bridges and obstructed 
the road by trees, baggage, etc. They were however pursued as far as 
Chazy, but on account of the obstructions of the road and their precip- 
ient retreat, our heroes were not able to overtake them. The enemy have 
learnt a lesson long to be remembered, that the ' soil of Freedom is sacred. 



50 Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 

that it must not, shall not, be polluted with impunity.' In this their 
expedition by land and water, we can account to Sir George for more 
than two thousand of his men killed and prisoners, and more than ninety 
pieces of cannon. 

" To the interposition of heaven^ be ascribed our glorious victory." 



BRITISH ACCOUNT FROM THE MONTREAL 
"HERALD" OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1814 

"Particulars of the Late Disastrous Affair on Lake 

Champlain 

" The brave and lamented Captain Downie, in the Confiance, led 
our small flotilla in battle in a gallant style, and as far as talents, the 
valor of British tars, and enthusiastic devotion to their country, could 
command victory, the most successful event was reasonably expected. 
That noble officer fell in his country's cause, the second shot, but his 
place was ably filled by his Lieut, who continued the engagement with 
unabated vigor, and was in the act of laying alongside the largest ship of 
the enemy, when the rudder of the Confiance was unshipped by a shot 
from the enemy. The Linnet, a small brig, which with the Confiance, 
was the only vessel of any size in our flotilla, went ashore ; in this state 
lying like a log on the water, the Confiance maintained the unequal 
contest with the whole flotilla of the enemy, in which were 4 vessels of 
large size. History produces nothing superior to the valor and gallantry 
of the officers and crew of the Confiance ; suffice it to say that she was 
literally fought to the water's edge; and if accounts are true, there 
remained but thirty of her men unhurt at the end of 5 hours' fighting. 
Such men will bring down the Americans, as their fathers heretofore have 
done the Dutch, who without disparagement, were at one time better 
sailors than our unnatural foe. Would that a veil could be drawn over 



52 Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 

the scene on shore ! but it must afford a sad tale in the page of British 
history ! The scientific, brave Generals, Officers, and soldiers of the 
Duke of Wellington's army, and the others who have before fought in 
our cause in the Canadas, did everything which depended on them to 
support the noble efforts of their brothers on the water. That dis- 
tinguished officer. General Robinson, who has been twice wounded this 
year on the other continent, with part of his brigade, had braved all dan- 
ger in an assault. Some of the picquet Fort were heretofore away, and 
a few minutes more would have given up the fortifications, with an 
immense train of artillery into our hands, and every American must have 
fallen, or been made prisoners. It was thought necessary to check the 
ardor of the troops, and we must now instantly redouble our energies to 
obtain the command of the Lake, or with humility await our future 
destiny." 



EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL ORDERS ISSUED BY GEN. 

ALEX. MACOMB, AT PLATTSBURGH, 

SEPTEMBER 14, 1814 

"The Governor General of the Canadas and Commander in Chief 
of the British forces in North America, having invaded the Territories of 
the United States, with the avowed purpose of conquering the country 
as far as Crown Point and Ticonderoga, there to winter his forces with 
a view to further conquest, brought with him a powerful army and 
flotilla, — an army amounting to fourteen thousand men, completely 
equipped and accompanied by a numerous train of artillery and all the 
engines of war, — men who had conquered in France, Spain, Portugal, 
the Indies, and in various other parts of the Globe, and led by the most 
distinguished Generals of the British army. A flotilla also, superior to 
ours in vessels, men, and guns, had determined at once to crush us both 
by land and by water. 

*'The Governor General * * * appeared before the village of 
Plattsburgh, with his whole army, and on the eleventh, the day fixed for 
the general attack, the flotilla arrived. 

" The enemy's flotilla at 8 in the morning passed Cumberland Head, 
and at 9 engaged our flotilla at anchor in the bay ofF the town, fully 
confident of crushing in an instant the whole of our naval force; but 
our gallant Commodore Macdonough in the short space of two hours, 
obliged the large vessels to strike their colors, whilst the gallies saved 
themselves by flight. This glorious achievement was in full view of the 
several forts, and the American forces had the satisfaction of witnessing 



54 Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 

the Victory. The British army was also posted on the surrounding 
heights, that it could not but behold the interesting struggle for dominion 
on the Lake. At the same hour the fleets engaged, the enemy opened 
his batteries on our Forts, throwing hundreds of shells, balls and rockets 
and attempted at the same time to cross the Saranack at three different 
points to assault the works. At the upper ford he was met by the Militia 
and Volunteers, and after repeated attempts was driven back with con- 
siderable loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. At the Bridge near the 
Village he was repulsed by the pickets and brave riflemen under Captain 
Grovenor and Lts. Hamilton and Riley, and at the Bridge in the town, 
he was foiled by the guards. Block Houses, and the Artillery of the forts, 
served by Capt. Alexander Brooks, Capts. Richards and Smith, and 
Lieuts. Mountford, Smyth and Cromwell. The enemy's fire was return- 
ed with effect from our batteries and by sunset we had the satisfaction to 
silence seven batteries which he had erected, and to see his column retir- 
ing to their camps, beyond the reach of our guns. 

" Thus beaten by land and by water, the Governor General withdrew 
his Artillery and raised the siege ; at 9 at night sent off his heavy baggage 
and under cover of darkness, retreated with his whole army towards 
Canada, leaving his wounded on the field, and a vast quantity of bread, 
flour and beef which he had not time to destroy, besides a quantity of 
bombshells, shot, flints and ammunition of all kinds, which remain at 
the batteries and lie concealed in the ponds and rivers. As soon as his 
retreat was discovered the Light troops. Volunteers and Militia, were in 
pursuit, and followed as far as Chazy, capturing several dragoons and 
soldiers, besides covering the escape of hundreds of deserters, who con- 
tinue still to be coming in. A violent storm and continual fall of rain 
prevented the brave Volunteers and Militia from further pursuit. 

"Thus have the attempts of the invaders been frustrated by a regular 



Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh ^5 

force of only fifteen hundred men, a brave and active body of Militia of 
the State of 'New York, under Gen. Mooers, and Volunteers of the 
respectable and patriotic citizens of Vermont, led by Gen. Strong and 
other gentlemen of distinction, the vi^holc not exceeding tw^o thousand 
five hundred men. 

" The British forces being now either expelled or captured, the ser- 
vices of the Volunteers and Militia may be dispensed with. 

" General Macomb cannot however permit the Militia of New York 
and the Volunteers of Vermont, to depart without carrying with them 
the high sense he entertains for their merits. The zeal with which they 
came forward in defence of their Country, when the signal of danger 
was given by the General, reflects the highest lustre on their patriotism 
and spirit. * * * 

" The General, in the name of the United States, thanks the Vol- 
unteers and the Militia for their distinguished services, and wishes them 
a happy return to their families and friends." 



COMMODORE MACDONOUGH'S OFFICIAL REPORTS 



United States' ship Saratoga, ofF 
Plattsburgh, Sept. ii, 1814. 

Sir: The Almighty has been pleased to grant us a signal victory on 

Lake Champlain, in the capture of one frigate, one brig, and two sloops 

of war of the enemy. 

I have the honor to be. 

Very respectfully sir. 

Your obedient servant, 

T. Macdonough, Com. 
Hon. William Jones, secretary of the navy. 



United States' ship Saratoga, at anchor off 
Plattsburgh, Sept. 13, 18 14. 

Sir : By Lieut. Commandant Cassin I have the honor to convey to 
you the flags of his Brittannic majesty's late squadron, captured on the 
I ith inst. by the United States' squadron, under my command. Also, 
my despatches relating to that occurrence, which should have been in 
your possession at an earlier period, but for the difficulty in arranging the 
different statements. 

The squadron under my command now lies at Plattsburgh, — it will 
bear of considerable diminution, and leave a force sufficient to repel any 
attempt of the enemy in this quarter. I shall wait your order what to 
do with the whole or any part thereof, and should it be consistent, I beg 
you will favor me with permission to leave the lake and place me under 



Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh ^y 

command of Commodore Decatur, at New York. My health (being 
some time on the lake), together with the almost certain inactivity of 
future naval operations here, are among the causes for this request of my 
removal. 

I have the honor to be, 

Sir, with much respect. 
Your most obedient servant, 

T. Macdonough. 
Hon. William Jones, secretary of the navy, Washington. 



United States' ship Saratoga, 
Plattsburgh Bay, Sept. ii, 1814. 

Sir: I have the honor to give you the particulars of the action 
which took place on the nth inst. on this lake. 

For several days the enemy were on their way to Plattsburgh, by 
land and water; and it being understood that an attack would be made 
at the same time by their land and naval forces, I determined to await at 
anchor the approach of the latter. 

At 8 A. M. the lookout boat announced the approach of the enemy. 
At 9 he anchored in a line ahead, at about 300 yards distance from my 
line; his ship opposed to the Saratoga, his brig to the Eagle, Captain 
Robert Henley, his galleys, thirteen in number, to the schooner, sloop, 
and a division of our galleys : one of his sloops assisting their ship and 
brig, the other assisting their galleys. Our remaining galleys with the 
Saratoga and Eagle. In this situation, the whole force, on both sides, 
became engaged : the Saratoga suffering much from the heavy fire of the 
Confiance. I could perceive at the same time, however, that our fire was 
very destructive to her. The Ticonderoga, Lieut. Commandant Cassin, 



58 Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 

gallantly sustained her full share of the action. At half past lo o'clock, 
the Eagle, not being able to bring her guns to bear, cut her cable, and 
anchored in a more eligible position, between my ship and the Ticon- 
deroga, where she very much annoyed the enemy, but unfortunately 
leaving me exposed to a galling fire from the enemy's brig. Our guns 
on the starboard side being nearly all dismounted, or not manageable, a 
stern anchor was let go, the bower cable cut, and the ship winded with a 
fresh broadside on the enemy's ship, which soon after surrendered. Our 
broadside was then sprung to bear on the brig, which surrendered in 
about 15 minutes after. 

The sloop that was opposed to the Eagle had struck some time 
before, and drifted down the line ; the sloop which was with their galleys 
having struck also ; three of their galleys are said to be sunk, the others 
pulled off. Our galleys were about obeying, with alacrity, the signal to 
follow them, when all the vessels were reported to me to be in a sinking 
state; it then became necessary to annul the signal to the galleys, and 
order their men to the pumps. 

I could only look at the enemy's galleys going off in a shattered con- 
dition, for there was not a mast in either squadron that could stand to 
make sail on ; the lower rigging, being nearly all shot away, hung down 
as though it had been just placed over the mast heads. 

The Saratoga had fifty-five rounds shot in her hull ; the Confiance 
one hundred and five. The enemy's shot passed principally just over 
our heads, as there were not twenty whole hammocks in the nettings at 
the close of the action, which lasted, without intermission, two hours and 
twenty minutes. 

The absence and sickness of Lieut. Raymond Perry, left me without 
the services of that excellent officer; much ought fairly to be attributed 
to him for his great care and attention in disciplining the ship's crew, 



Accounts of the Battle of Plattsburgh 59 

as her first lieutenant. His place was filled by a gallant young officer, 
Lieut. Peter Gamble, who I regret to inform you, was killed early in the 
action. Acting Lieut. Vallette worked the ist and 2d divisions of guns 
with able effect. Sailing Master Brum's attention to the springs, and in 
the execution of the order to wind the ship, and occasionally at the guns, 
meets with my entire approbation; also Captain Young's commanding 
the acting marines, who took his men to the guns. Mr. Beale, purser, 
was of great service at the guns and in carrying my orders throughout 
the ship, with Midshipman Montgomery. Master's Mate, Joshua Justin, 
had the command of the third division : his conduct during the action 
was that of a brave and correct officer. Midshipmen Monteath, Graham, 
Williamson, Piatt, Thwing, and Acting Midshipman Baldwin, all behaved 
well, and gave evidence of their making valuable officers. 

The Saratoga was twice set on fire by hot shot from the enemy's 
ship. 

I close, sir, this communication with feelings of gratitude for the 
able support 1 received from every officer and man attached to the 
squadron which I have the honor to command. 

I have the honor to be. 

With great respect, sir. 

Your most obedient servant, 
T. Macdonough. 
Hon. William Jones, secretary of the navy. 



P. S. Accompanying this is a list of killed and wounded, a list of 
the prisoners, and a precise statement of both forces engaged. Also

of the respective merits of my gallant officers, to the honorable the sec- 
retary of the navy. 

I have the honor to be, 

Respectfully sir, 
Your most obedient servant, 

Robert Henley. 

P. S. We had 31 round shot in our hull (mostly 24-pounders), four 

in our lower masts, and we were well peppered with grape. I enclose

Sir : 

As Providence has given into my command the squadron on Lake 
Champlain, of which you were (after the fall of Captain Downie) the 
commanding officer, I beg you will, after the able conflict you sustained, 
and evidence of determined valor you evinced on board his Britannic 
majesty's brig Linnet, until the necessity of her surrender, accept of your

I am, &c. &c.

Macdonough's Official Report of the American Losses and 

British Prisoners. 

United States' ship Saratoga, 

September 13, 18 14. 

Sir : I have the honor to enclose you a list of the killed and wounded 
on board the different vessels of the squadron under your command in 
the action of the nth inst. 

It is impossible to ascertain correctly the loss of the enemy. From 
the best information received from the British officers, from my own 
observations, and from various lists found on board the Confiance, I cal- 
culate the number of men on board of that ship at the commencement 
of the action, at 270, of whom 180, at least were killed and wounded; 

and on board the other captured vessels at least, 80 more, making in the 
whole, killed or wounded, 260. This is doubtless short of the real 
number, as many were thrown overboard from the Confiance during the 
engagement. 

The muster books must have been thrown overboard, or otherwise 
disposed of, as thev are not to be found. 

I am, sir, respectfully. 

Your obedient servant, 

George Beale, Jr., Purser. 
Thomas Macdonough, esq., commanding United States' squadron on 
Lake Champlain.
